Celesmeh

Celes  stared at the creature and then back at lessa "Lessa,  he's yours to finish! We'll support you!"  She said staying beside Caltex and readying her glaive.  She kept it trained on the creature while she waited for lessa to deliver the final blow.

Celes smiled warmly at him and looked him over.  "him okay I have a perfect with +w recovery and +q evasion.  Is that good for you?"  She asked,  worried that he might not like it,  or feel offended by the gesture. 

Celes sighed.  "I disappeared,  I told no one and...  Well..  You were suffering too.  I was selfish and ran away from all of my friends...  I've been trying my bets to make it up to people. I know I'm not the best person,  but I hope you'll let me be there for you in the future... " She added,  terrified of her own words. 

To her there was no greater fear than falling into that pit of fear and sadness.  To become numb to the world again.  She remembered how it had felt.  How nothing caused a reaction.  Why sleep?  Why eat?  Nothing made sense.  Why live with her others die so easily in this world... 

She shook herself out of it.  "anyway,  we have more places to explore!  Do you like this floor?"  she asked,  trying her best to look smooth as she picked a flower from between tree trunks and handed it to lessa. (please forgive spelling auto-correct is hard) 

Celes couldnt help but blush "I... i like spending time with you too... I mean, well. Yeah, youre a good friend and a lovely woman... how could i not? " she stopped for a moment and turned to lessa, getting close once more. Looking into her eyes she asked seriously "less, how are you? I feel like... maybe i let you down, and well- I need to know, how are you? how have you been? I know you... well you needed time too, after that battle.."  She took Lessa's hand, gently- almost clumsily, as if he were afraid to hurt her.

Celes looked over to bell. "Hrm, well most of the stores i know are pretty expensive... but i can see what i can do!"  She smiles at him and gestured to the table "Why dont you sit down? I'm sure we can chat about gear. What kind are you looking for?"  she said tabbing her inventory to see what she had. "I have a few thigns i might be able to give you!"  she added with a smile. 

I wish i could join....

Celes Focused her hit on the second iron knight and suddenly her image  flashed. She took the form of an iron kniwght, swinging her glaive at the creature, mirroring his pose....  (41214, bd 3=6+1 disguise +1=7) She cut through him feeling her sword art activate (rank 4  vent fourth -8 energy). She cut deep into its check (damage 11+3=14x4x2=112) and he disappeared, becoming nothingness. "Wellt hat was easier than expected...." she said looking at Oikawa with a surprised face. 

Celes grit her teeth " Darn. I'm so sorry lessa" She focused her sword art to pierce teh wolf, hoping that she could finish it before anything happened. (bd 41210, bd 9) She felt the critical and knew it was over (Damage 11+1(crit)=12x5x2=120, dead, loot 16, 500 col). The wolf was gone, But she and lessa stood there. She walked over to the blond and patted her black "I'm sorry my love, But we'll keep trying, yeah?" She held her hand for only a moment, not wanting to be too forward. "Shall we keep looking. I think on the other side of the forest we might be able to have better luck...."

Celes looked at The young man in front of her and tilted her head "Um... Yes? I mean, well boars arent much help, no. But it is always good to check over the other floors. See how things are going, you know?  Not everyone decided to go off to the front lines..."  She thought of the front lines. The upper floors were unpleasant, compared to the starting town, and yet... She couldnt help but think that they arent even a quarter of the way to the top...

Celes rushed to deliver the final blow to the creatures. (41209 bd5) She knew she was out of energy, but still she could give one good hit. Aiming at Carlos she pushed forward slamming her Glaive into him and cutting a chunk off his digital body. "Guys we're so close! Lets get this done, right!?!!? "  she said turning back to the creature. She flashed a reassuring smile to Lessa "We're almost done, Lessa, Calrex. I  Still got you!"

Celes msiled and ran along. This time she took the time to find a group of large creatures to battle. She pointed at them and then turned back to dom "Alright, are you ready?"  She aimed her glaive at the first undead monster and swung, sllowing her Sword art to activate. She felt her body fall as she slammed into four undead. EAch one cut by her blade. "Lets do this!" She said as she landed just on the other side of the creatures.

Celes sat in the Tavern.  Not much good in it,  really everyone here was so low level,  there wasn't much to fight,  or to do.  All,  she came down.  She did her best to remind herself that she sas fighting for something.  That she was truly worth something.  These people here hadn't wanted to get stuck here,  and yet here they were,  in a random game sick forever.  No wonder they didn't want to leave the  safe zones.  Why bother... 

Why indeed.... 

Celes was thrown off guard.  The two blushing ladies obviously cared for each other but right now celes knew she had to focus on helping her friend.  She got up and looked around.  "Well,  three are trees...  And trees...  And hills....  And trees."  She said bluntly.  "OK, let's thing about this.  Stoats live in burrows,  but they don't actually dig their own burrows,  they use the burrows of other rodents they've killed. They also tend to inhabit old tree trunks...  So let's start with the forest  looking around..." 

Celes knew nature.  Few times did her real world and fictional world collide like this,  but she was ready.  She got lots to the ground began to search.  The realism of the game was enough she knew she finds tracks eventually,  if not some other sign of the creature.  Eventually she came across a c bluster of trees and quietly whispered "Lessa!  There!  Look..."  She gestured to a small hole at the base of one Tybee trees.  "in there..."  now it sas lead turn... 

(ooc is the fifteenth post next,  you can fill to feed and take it...) 

Celes focus on Zombie Carlos.  She let herself fall into her sword art,  trusting her blade to guide the way...  Rolling (40972, bd 5+3=8, hit).  Her imperial southern cross hit true,  passing through the beast and stunning him.  (damage 11×5×2=110)

Celes immediately did two things.  One,  she used a crystal of the scythe (+3dmg) to up her damage.  And two,  she equipped her new armour (+3 holy blessing +3 mitigation +eva) "I get to test a few things too!  She said with a wink to oikawa. She focused forward,  preparing  herself  for the attack " wanna go first paralysis man? " She asks with a grin. 

She sighed "I'm so sorry for this huge mess,  but I can't stand it when people threaten others..."  She looked at the two young players and pulled down her menu.  She took out two items and left them on the floor.  "here  sorry for the trouble..." 

Celes has left the thread. 
 

Celes rushed behind him, unable to let go. She followed him to his room and, knowing she couldnt follow him inside "I'll stay here Zelrius!  I will stay here until you get out!  This isnt time to go hide!  Its time to go get ice cram and I will wait here  and sit UNTIL YOU GET OUT!"  she sat down, pulled Kiku onto her lap and sat there.... 

and waited....

and waited.... 

and waited.... 

Celes took a moment to stand and listen. After listening to Greg and Shizuka she rushed up, bringing her Glaive to Greg's throat. "Stop" she said, in a low tone of voice. She turned to face Shizuka. "As Captain of Azure I *Order* you to never threaten a lower level. I know its easy to get lost in the power trip, but i know that the guild would frown upon it." She focused back on greg "If we wanted you dead, Youd be dead? No. I would stop you. You would be dead. Leave it at that." 

Celes pulled down her menu and shot out a message quickly.  "behave" she said, and turning to the two lower levels she bowed and apologized "This should never have gotten so out of hand. I'm sorry" 

Celes stared at him a moment "You know what you are here? You are still that same Fudging nerd. And you know what? soon your body out there is goign to die. Youll be the same stupid arse . the tragic boy who dies in his game. You are nothing here, Zelrius" She looked at him, not backing down "You want to be the Amazing Gamer? You want to be the Hero of Aincrad? then SAVE us! Be the TRUE hero of Aincrad. Then go on, and PLAY OTHER GAMES. OR COME BACK. But you cant be the 'hero'" she added. Suddenly her tone changed, much less severe. "And Zelrius... I dont wnat you to be alone.. I want... well i am here... if thats what i can give you. Kayaba, he took everything from me. I have no one, really. I have a life outside of here. I have a life, you do too. Even if you need gaming you know what? You can be the hero and the teenager too... "

She listened to him and turned toward him "why isnt a boss worth your time? what is?" she asked curiously. The more she thought the less sense it made. "Is it because its nto hard to win? Because youre so strong?"  she sat up, getting a bit angry "Not worth your time?!??!" she look at him square in the eyes, getting dangerously close to his face "ZEL. its worth your time to fight. its worth your time to get out of here! If not for you than for the thousands that have dies. Youre the best pplayer out there  right now, the strongest, but those that died? the never had the chance!  They never got to see the amazing Zel! all they got was a hit in the face and fu***** pixels!" she said, beginning to cry. "And its not WORTH YOUR TIME?!?!? Dont you want to leave? to see the real world. Even if you have no one out there... well oyu have me... but...even with no one out there, where your agency Zel? You never chose this Zel. Do you want to be Kayabas Bi*** forever? Youre a fighter. So dont tell me that having no choice, no say in what to play, in what to fight, how to fight. All that was taken from you!! Will you just give it him because its not 'worth your time?'. " she stopped, if only a moment to take a breath. 

"it is worth your time Zelrius. Its worth it because I say so. Because you have forgotten we arent here by choice. Because someone has to be here to tell you when youre being Kayaba's Bit**"

Celes heard the two before she saw them.  She wasn't trying to be intimidating,  but she didn't want to interrupt the two.  The attempted to walk by without making a noise... Only to fall flat on her face.  "ugh mmphmphm mmph"  She said into the ground.  Getting up and brushing off she mumbled "sorry guys..." 

Celes watched her as she spoke,  observing the changes in her demeanor.  Celes walked over to her and quietly offered a hug.  "Things in this often change,  honestly I don't know if the familiars care as much about the food of about the person holding it...." She said,  pausing to take a moment to look lessa in the eyes.  "I'm sure the familiar that close you will be perfect,  okay?  You are amazing,  and your familiar will reflect you,  i'm sure!" 

Realizing how close she was too Lessa was something that came upon celes slowly, a sudden red giving her cheeks and a dizziness hitting her she almost feel away,  catching herself last minute.  Struggling to say anything at all she started "S-s-so where do you want to,  uh,  you now go check first,  maybe?"  She asked. 

Celes picked up the items and hugged hikoru .  "thank you so much!" She immediately put the unique on to try it.... "it's so fancy....she gave hikoru on last hug and headed out... 

Celes smiled and blushed at lessas comment "Thanks..." She added shyly before focusing on the wolves again as they prepared to attack. After being stunned my lessas attack celes took her chance.  She raised her glaive and  swiped at them all. (40801 bd7 damage 99).  Celes sat in the grass and sighed.  "OK,"  She said looking the her inventory " you should have seven <wolf meat> now..." She added  with a wide grin to lessa 

Celes roared,  this time jumping in with like right behind her.  She slashed at them,  momentarily looking as ferocious as a wolf herself, (Id 40796, bd 4+3=7)  her ARE hit them all (damage 11x9=99dmg each)
